Meyer's Special
"Little Toot"

The Meyers Little Toot was considered the Cadillac of
the breed. Bigger, smoother, professionally engineered, it offered
the choice of either a tubing fuselage or one with an aluminium
tail-cone aft of the pilot. Being bigger, and therefore, heavier,
the airplane didn't perform well on the 85 hp Continentals which was
considered standard-issue for sport planes. In fact, the airplane
was, and is, quiet commonly seen with engines as big as 180 stuffed
in it. Of all the older biplanes, the Toot had the best visibility
and best ground handling manners. It was a favourite for pilots
wanting to paint their airplane up in ersatz military markings
because of its hawk-like appearance.
